#I made my first ever YouTube video, looking for criticisms and feedbacks (yes I messed up a caption)

Overall, it's pretty good!
A few notes to improve on though:

  1. Thumbnail composition is imo a little eh, not bad but just could be better
  2. Title could be more intriguing, e.g. "Is COD MW3 Worth it??". Giving viewers the answer to the question the video answers in the title means many will not look further.
  3. The scene at 0:11 could be edited better, e.g. each caption could appear separately, maybe with some "pop" sound effect when they show up.
  4. The subtitling at the very beginning is superb, it's timed correctly, well positioned, and big enough to read but not be obnoxious at the same time. Then, you just stop doing that and the subtitling becomes infrequent, not very well timed, and even looks different. Pick one of the two styles to use, and imo pick the subtitle everything style. I think its clean and (sorry if this is insensitive) with your lisp it'll help open up your audience to people who might struggle to understand you all the time (e.g. foreign speakers, people who are hard of hearing, etc)
  5. I'd try to script reviews like this, it'll help keep them on topic and prevent doubling back or making mistakes. There aren't many in the video but it did happen a couple times to notice, and in general it felt very all over the place

Its entirely up to you, its your channel do whatever you want with it! You can certainly delete it and re-edit, then compare what works better or not. Do whatever you feel will make you prouder of the content you've uploaded

#

that's ultimately all that matters, whether you are proud of what you've put out there

#

subtitling is super tricky to get the hang of, but if you can replicate what you did for the intro consistently your video quality will go up massively

#

it always takes ages to do though haha, especially if you've got multiple people talking

#

I'm happy to re-review the video once you re edit btw, tag me in it your post here or send it to me via DMs
